Our Holiday Series rolls on as 3 Guys and a Flick unwraps Daddy's Home 2, the loud, ridiculous, and surprisingly warm Christmas sequel that reunites Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg for a “Together Christmas” that never had a chance. This time, the festivities go completely off the rails when two grandpas crash the party — Mel Gibson's ultra-macho wildcard and John Lithgow's soft-spoken sweetheart — turning peace, love, and goodwill into competitive dad energy cranked to eleven. Add in John Cena, over-the-top set pieces, and nonstop holiday absurdity, and you've got a recipe for festive mayhem. We break down the biggest laughs, the best running gags, the cast chemistry, and whether this sequel earns its spot on the holiday watchlist. Expect spoilers, sarcasm, belly laughs, and just enough Christmas heart to keep the lights twinkling.
Lethal Weapon (1987)Directed by: Richard DonnerStarring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, some guy that awkwardly holds egg nog.Strangely moving into a movie that some might consider a Christmas movie (and I guess we do, or else we wouldn't be talking about it right now) is the venerable Lethal Weapon, where Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are the odd couple of policing. Did this set the stage for just about every buddy cop movie that comes after it. Someone on this show makes that argument. IMDB.com describes Lethal Weapon as: "Two newly paired cops who are complete opposites must put aside their differences in order to catch a gang of drug smugglers."We Also Talked About:Katrina: Hell and High Water (Netflix)Laserblast (Tubi)Laserblast posters 1 and 2Bring Her Back (Amazon)The Chair Company (Amazon)Sean Combs: The Reckoning (Netflix)Goon (Tubi)Our Quigley PodcastOur Violent Night EpisodeListen to this goofy lethal weapon theme song.Like what you hear here?

TEMPO DE REFLETIR 01612 – 13 de dezembro de 2025 I Pedro 5:8 – Estejam alerta e vigiem. O diabo, o inimigo de vocês, anda ao redor como leão, rugindo e procurando a quem possa devorar. Na revista Seleções, Jim Grant conta a história de um homem de negócios com excesso de peso que decidiu que estava na hora de perder uns bons quilos. Levava a sério sua dieta, chegando mesmo a mudar de rota para evitar a doceria favorita. Certa manhã, entretanto, ele apareceu no trabalho com um bolo gigante de chocolate. Os colegas de escritório começaram a zombar dele, mas ele permanecia impassível com seu sorriso. “Este é um bolo especial”, disse. “Acidentalmente, tive que passar em frente à doceria nesta manhã e ali, na vitrine, havia grande quantidade de bolos. Senti que não era tão acidental assim, e orei: ‘Senhor, se é de Tua vontade que eu compre um destes bolos de chocolate, que haja um lugar para estacionar em frente da porta da doceria'. Depois de oito voltas na quadra, apareceu o lugar.” A tentação vem. Não importa se é um pedaço de bolo, ou alguma coisa que você não deve ter, algo que você não deve fazer, ou um lugar onde não deve ir. O aviso é: “Fique longe da zona de perigo!” Paulo diz: “Fujam da imoralidade” (1Co 6:18). Quer dizer, corra na direção contrária. Se você tem problemas com bebida alcoólica, não passe em frente ao bar. Se gosta de dançar, não vá aonde possa escutar o som da “balada”. Em outras palavras, não fique nadando nem brincando ao redor da isca, muito menos olhando para ela. Quão perto posso me aproximar do fogo e não me queimar? E se eu sair quando sentir cheiro de fumaça? A preocupação deve ser: Como posso ficar o mais longe possível do pecado? O diabo pode dizer: “Tire uma folga espiritual neste fim de semana. Só hoje à noite. Só uma hora. Afinal, é só uma visita à zona proibida. Você é maduro e sabe que não vai ficar lá.” Por ocasião do lançamento do filme A Paixão de Cristo, Mel Gibson esteve presente a uma grande concentração de pastores na cidade de Chicago. Perguntaram-lhe por que tinha colocado uma mulher com véu para representar o mal. “O mal toma a forma de beleza, é quase bonito… ele se disfarça e se mascara, mas se as antenas de vocês estiverem ligadas, vão identificá-lo.” Pedro adverte: “Cuidado, há um leão predador pronto para saltar sobre a presa. Nada de cochilar!” Através do poder da graça de Deus, você experimentará vitória sobre a tentação. Reflita sobre isso no dia de hoje e ore comigo agora: Obrigado, Pai, por toda a orientação que tens dado a nós, Teus filhos, sobre a tentação e as trágicas consequências do pecado. Por favor, fica sempre ao nosso lado! Em nome de Jesus, amém!

Send us a textPASSION OF THE CHRIST “And in the ending days of two-thousand, twenty-five in the Year of our Bloodied Lord (R.I.P.), the three unwise men of TGTPTU shall gather and in their folly alloweth the unholy host Thomas to select the season's Christmas-adjacent movie. And there will be great wailing and weeping and gnashing of ill-cared for teeth by his selection. Yet the episode shall not be mid. The hosts shall bloody nail it. And there shall be great rejoicing in one accord upon its record.” -The Book of Ryan (or on its cover) 5:16-17, Revised New King Jim Edition Yes, ho-ho-humbug, it's our annual cross to bear: The Christmas-adjacent movie to end the year. In a rare moment of collective (fatigue / wisdom / pure awesomeness / mental constipation / fugue ß strike as appropriate), The Good The Pod and The Ugly hosts Ken and Ryan have allowed Thomas to pick the flick this season. He took a chance on a film he'd always wanted to but hadn't seen, and that cinema selection took them to church! Tom picked the Mel Gibson co-written, co-produced, and solely(soul-ly?)-directed, Jesus story spoiler: THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST (2004). To their eternal credit, the hosts with no loyalty to any of the major- or bush-league Christian denominations managed to keep civil and polite, if not to each other then to the source material and Gibson's passionate release. Ryan's Catholic upbringing comes in handy for this, his third viewing, as he explains the church's different classifications of visions and what parts of the film pull from scripture and which are attributable to a 19th century fever dream. This ep, Ken talks sexy Satan, Ryan talks sexy Jesus, guest Jack has an unsexy hot take takeoff and landing, and his fellow Gen Z'er Tom sticks it to the olds after mis-Clarking. Skip to the end of the ep for a brief year-end recap of the best and worst first-watched and re-watched films covered in 2025 or skip further for spoilers from Ken as he shares his bulk-pricing Christmas presents for his fellow hosts. In the new year, TGTPTU takes a Graycation (or is Going Gray or lets its Gray Pride shine) with the start of Season 16, tentatively titled By the Powers of (James) Gray's Skull. And that's the gospel truth. Answer to the question raised during the episode: We're Not Going to Take It. Keith Moon wept.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and can you hear what I hear? I hear it's after Thanksgiving now and I need to fit in some retro review of movies that could really be Christmas movies, just in an action movie's clothing. In this episode, we find “Lethal Weapon” first under the Christmas tree. I mean, the movie has a Christmas song playing over its opening credits for God sakes! “Lethal Weapon” was a surprise action hit in 1987 that paired Mel Gibson with Danny Glover as L.A. detectives Riggs and Murtaugh. The movie started a trend of hundreds of copycat buddy-cop movies faster than Santa deliver presents on Christmas. The “fun” starts in the movie when the daughter of an old Vietnam buddy of Murtaugh's is found dead. As Riggs and Murtaugh investigate into the death further, they uncover a network of bad little elves delivering drugs from overseas for all the bad little boys and girls. All this happening while Murtaugh has to deal with Riggs' reckless, death wish behavior over the death of his wife. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas with this movie! Is this a Christmas movie? Find out on this episode of Movies Merica! “Lethal Weapon” also stars Gary Busey, Mitchell Ryan, Tom Atkins, Darlene Love, Traci Wolfe, Jackie Swanson, Damon Hines, Ebonie Smith, Mary Ellen Trainor, Steve Kahan, Jack Thibeau, Grand L.

On this week's episode, Nick and Bella return as your favorite unlikely duo. Which is apt, as we dive into the work of one of the most impactful screenwriters of the last forty years, Shane Black. Over the decades, Shane Black's action screenplays have thrilled audiences. And in most of his pictures, he loves injecting a bit of the holiday season. Thus, A Very Black Christmas. We start with a game-changing classic. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star in Lethal Weapon. Second, we explore an underappreciated gem. Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson throw jokes and bullets in The Long Kiss Goodnight. Finally, Shane Black makes his directorial debut in the film that helped revive Robert Downey, Jr.'s career in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Set in present-day, a disgraced former Secret Service office and a Jesuit professor join forces to delve into the mysteries surrounding the events of November 22, 1963. Fixated on deciphering the conspiracies behind the history-changing assassination, they are oblivious to the fact that the cabal is still active—and may face an end as bloody as the carnage in Dealey Plaza. Will they be able to uncover the truth in time? Or will they become two more footnotes in history? Chris Hauty was born in 1956 in San Antonio, Texas, and raised in Delaware, a geographic and cultural relocation made more tolerable by virtue of his relative youth and an obsession with Greek mythology. He graduated from Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, then moved to New York, where he supported his playwriting habit as a bike messenger and graphic artist. His plays produced Off-Off-Broadway included South of American Business and Shut Eye, Big Mouth. The sale of his first screenplay, Don Coyote, to 20th Century Fox prompted a move to Los Angeles. Employed for the last thirty years as a screenwriter, he has worked for every major movie studio, in nearly all genres, and in collaboration with Hollywood professionals ranging from Mel Gibson to Jessica Alba. #chrishauty #authorpodcast #speakingofwriterspodcast #podcast
It's our most Christ-centric episode of Loathsome Things since the great Christmas celebration of Mel Gibson's Passion! This time, we review a little crowd-funded Christian Thriller about a pastor, his church-wife, their small, creepy, non-church-going neighbor, and an actually surprising ending that... no one really knows what it means... and isn't that just the most God-like thing after all? Content Warning: profanity, heresy, blasphemy, rudeness, bad jokes, sin, and many more!

The outstanding drama "Hamnet" is a speculative period piece about the inspiration behind Shakespeare's "Hamlet." Anchored by terrific performances by Paul Mescal and Jesse Buckley as Shakespeare and his troubled wife Agnes, it's an emotionally involving tale, adapted by director Chloe Zhao from Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel. Perhaps surprisingly, "Hamnet" is a better film than Zhao's previous Oscar winner "Nomadland." And speaking of Oscar, Buckley's moving performance is likely a Best Actress shoo-in. The Netflix showbiz drama "Jay Kelly" provides a role that fits George Clooney like a glove. He plays a movie star who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughters while alienating those in his entourage who've supported him. Adam Sandler gives the film's best performance as George's unappreciated manager. While somewhat engaging, there are phony elements in the movie that are uncharacteristic of the gifted filmmaker Noah Baumbach. "Jay Kelly" is a mixed bag bolstered by megawatt star power. Mel Gibson stars in the ugly, excessively violent drama, "Hunting Season." Mel and his daughter provide aid and shelter to a woman found shot in the woods, only to invoke the wrath of a vicious drug lord. This is the kind of fodder that used to be called "grindhouse cinema," prodding audiences into vengeful bloodlust. Happy Holidays! A gifted cast can't save the noisy, irritating Amazon Prime holiday farce, "Oh. What. Fun." Michelle Pfeiffer plays a put-upon mom who goes all out for her family at Christmas, but her efforts aren't appreciated…until she goes missing. None of it rings true. "Oh. What. Fun." is a lump of coal for your cinematic stocking.
Trump's use of his pardon power is downright crazy, and that's not even counting his rescue of a convicted drug kingpin. He's also sabotaging his own redistricting plans in Texas by pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar, and wasting taxpayer money absolving a sports executive who was indicted by his own Justice Department earlier this year. Meanwhile, down in NOLA, two men with a Napoleon complex are unleashing misery of the psychic and economic kind on the city through its ICE and Border Patrol operation. Plus, someone needs to scour the immigration history of Phil Mickelson's family, and why is Tucker so obsessed with the gays? Sam Stein joins Tim Miller.

Is this a gym, or a dance studio? Thanksgiving and the whipped cream embargo. I'm not into this new AFI album, but everybody else apparently is. Landman Season 2 is upon us, and I finally caught that "American Primeval" series on Netflix. If you really want to get into the spirit of these new modern western series, you should flagellate yourself while you watch them. I went to see The Thing and pissed 115x. I shot a .357 Magnum and fell in love, and I went to see Roger Deakins speak at a screening of a gorgeous movie he shot, and then promptly made an ass of myself in front of one of my favorite directors. Quentin Tarantino shit talks Paul Dano, and Mel Gibson has an ugly black British wife for no conceivable reason in "Fat Man." (Yep, you guessed it – Netflix!)
Johnny Spoiler dives headfirst into FATMAN (2020) — the unholy collision of Christmas cheer and hard-edged action starring Mel Gibson as a battle-worn Santa Claus and Walton Goggins as a vengeful hitman.In this episode of the Binge-Watchers Podcast, we break down why Fatman feels like the gritty fake action movie advertised inside Scrooged, how Walton Goggins absolutely carries the film, and why this version of Santa is closer to Superman than a slasher villain.Before the review, Johnny reacts to 2025 Christmas trends including:The rise of vintage 1990s Christmas aestheticsWhy Christmas trees are getting smallerThe bizarre popularity of holiday whiskey gimmicksWhy roe > caviar at holiday parties (we said what we said)Plus:Christmas movie chart shifts (Elf, The Grinch, Home Alone)Thoughts on the Silent Night, Deadly Night remakeWhy Fatman doesn't quite kill Santa — and why that mattersDeep lore questions: is Santa powered by goodwill… or force?If you're building your Christmas movie watchlist, curious about Santa action movies, or burned out but still searching for something rowdy, weird, and holiday-adjacent — this episode's for you.Binge it now.

On episode 317 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson alongside AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer and Josh Parham to go back 30 years and take a look at the 68th Academy Awards, covering the films of 1995. On this retrospective, the AW team take a trip to 1995, where actor Mel Gibson rode off the with multiple Oscars, winning Best Picture for his war epic, Braveheart. While a hit within its own right, it was a bit of a shocking win considering many believed that Apollo 13 was going to take home Oscar's top prize. It's a massive upset that would have ripple effects over the course of Academy history that would have make up wins not just for Ron Howard, but for other nominees in this Oscar field. 1995 is a stacked, incredible year of cinema that the gang tries to reflect a little better than what the Academy nominated with films like Heat, Showgirls, Get Shorty, Clueless, Seven, Before Sunset, Friday, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and more getting either mentions, nominations, or wins in the big top eight categories.Maybe one of them wins Best Picture, maybe they don't, you'll have to listen and try not to fall down a flight of stairs to find out. In their in-depth discussion, the AW team talked about the film year of 1995, briefly discuss talk about Braveheart as a Best Picture winner, do an extensive conversation over the below the line categories and nominees for the year, and then the new version of the AW Shoulda Woulda Coulda game, where instead of individual replacements, they must decide as a group who the nominees and winners should be in the top eight categories. The rules of the game state they can only replace two of the nominees that year from each category, except in Best Picture, where the group could replace up to three films to make up the final set of five nominated films. Like past retrospective episodes, it was a fascinating, fun conversation including spirited debates, alliances, vote swinging, celebrating various movies, performances that aren't normally talked about and more that we all hope you enjoy. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more. This podcast runs 2h47m. We will be back in next week for another retrospective over the 83rd Academy Awards, covering the films of 2010. Till then, let's get into it.

This week on the pod, Chris Dudley of Underoath joins us in going full horror-goblin mode while we descend into full-blown extraterrestrial delirium, tackling The Fourth Kind, Signs, and Fire in the Sky — three films that prove aliens really might exist, but also might have the collective IQ of a Roomba in a bathtub.We kick off with The Fourth Kind (2009) — directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, starring Milla Jovovich, a bunch of owls with boundary issues, and “archival footage” that is approximately as convincing as a Bigfoot found on Etsy. The gang debates whether the aliens were scary or if the real villain was hypnotherapy, and how the film somehow made “ancient Sumerian alien yelling” a plot device. We also discuss the Nome, Alaska lawsuits, the fake websites, and why the studio absolutely deserved to be sued by the state of Alaska for gaslighting an entire population.Then we plunge headfirst into Signs (2002), where M. Night Shyamalan brings us aliens so technologically advanced they can cross galaxies but can't figure out a damn doorknob. We're talking crop circles, Pennsylvania dad vibes, Joaquin Phoenix swinging for the fences (literally), and Mel Gibson crying like it earned him a punch card at the “Prestige Actor Sadness Rewards Program.” Finally, we arrive at the king of UFO trauma: Fire in the Sky (1993), directed by Robert Lieberman, featuring the most infamous alien encounter ever committed to film and Travis Walton, the patron saint of “I swear the aliens did it.” The hosts scream about the abduction sequence like a group therapy session for people who've all watched this movie too young and were never the same. The words “shitty aliens and fucking Travis” are spoken enough times to summon some kind of cosmic lawsuit.Along the way we detour into:• Alien allergies• Crop circles as early-2000s clout chasing• Water-allergic humans (apparently real???)• Whether aliens would choose to invade Pennsylvaniaof all places• How Signs accidentally invented a new method of irrigating corn•How Scary Movie 3 permanently corrupted the DNA of Signs for all of us.• The eternal philosophical question: are owls just shitty aliens in disguise?If you like horror podcasts that sound like three guys locked in a basement joking about being abducted mid-episode, this one is for you.Store: CREEP-O-RAMAYouTube: @creep-o-ramaChris: @chrisunderoathJosh: @joshblevesqueArtwork: @bargainbinblasphemyTheme: @imfigureAudio:@stranjlove
Machete Kills (2013)Directed By: Robert RodriguezStarring: Danny Trejo, Mel Gibson, Demián Bichir, Some Bed PooperIt's been a while since we've talked about Machete, and this time he's got revenge on his mind. After the events of the first film, Machete gets entangled in the government and is sent on a mission from the President of the USA himself. IMDB.com describes Machete Kills as: "The U.S. government recruits Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space."Catch up on our Machete conversation by listening to our first episode here: Machete (2010)We Also Talked About:The Long Walk (Amazon)Winnebago Man (Tubi)LA Streetfighters (Tubi)People Under the Stairs (Peacock via Amazon)The Creep Tapes Season 2 (Amazon/Shudder)Like what you hear here?

Have you ever thought about the science and history of … wind? In this episode, Simon Winchester explains why eastbound flights are usually faster than flying west, and how the discovery of the jet stream was almost missed because the original research was published in Esperanto. He also talks about the debate over the Great Terrestrial Stilling—the idea that global wind speeds may be decreasing—and why newer measurements suggest the trend may be reversing. Winchester describes how and where the highest wind speed ever recorded was measured, the increasing frequency of clear-air turbulence (the kind that causes sudden drops during flights), why only one flag placed on the Moon fell, the techniques used by Polynesian navigators to cross vast stretches of ocean without instruments, and the challenges faced by early wartime pilots who unintentionally flew into the jet stream. Simon Winchester is the acclaimed author of many books, including The Professor and the Madman, which was adapted into a film starring Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, as well as The Men Who United the United States, The Map That Changed the World, The Man Who Loved China, A Crack in the Edge of the World, and Krakatoa. His books have been New York Times bestsellers and have appeared on numerous best-of-the-year lists. In 2006 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty the Queen.

California officials knew about underground embers a week before the Palisades fire but failed to properly monitor them—then lied about their involvement in court documents. Is anyone surprised? We've got state representatives showing up at 4 AM to direct firefighters, then claiming they had "no responsibility" while fighting a lawsuit from 3,000 residents. Meanwhile, Mayor Karen Bass was vacationing in Ghana despite promising no international trips, water reservoirs were empty, and fire hydrants ran dry. But sure, let's trust these same leaders who made filming so expensive that Mel Gibson's crew flew to Bulgaria because it was cheaper than shooting in Hollywood. The state that's number one in homelessness, poverty, and gas prices wants us to believe this disaster isn't their fault? What could go wrong when Gavin Newsom runs for president in 2028 on this stellar track record? Are Californians finally waking up to decades of failed leadership, or will they keep voting for the same policies that turned their state into an unaffordable bureaucratic nightmare? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians dodging accountability while taxpayers pay the price.
Sequels we hoped for are coming. HammerofVenus voices McConaughey for the foreseeable future. Naz is excited for what he believes will be the greatest biopic of all time and apparently Predator 2 sucked because there was no Mel Gibson with Danny Glover. Do we agree with that? You will have to listen in to The Machine Room Podcast.
Cousins Austin Kelly (founder of ChristianChannel.com) and Yenitza Muñoz (bilingual journalist & podcast host) join Deacon in studio to unpack their cinematic Catholic media empire: crowdfunding saint-epics, viral celebrity faith stories, and a burning mission to re-catechize Latinos after the 2020 San Gabriel Mission fire.

Dive into the heart of America's unraveling mysteries in this explosive episode, where investigative journalism meets unfiltered truth. We kick off with a jaw-dropping revelation from Blaze Media's Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman, who claim to have cracked the January 6 pipe bomber case using cutting-edge forensic gait analysis—pinning it on a high-level government insider with a stunning 94% match. A federal source's reaction? "Holy F— she's one of us!" But that's just the opener: witness arrests outside an ICE detention center in Illinois, Elon Musk's chilling prophecy that AI will soon rule humanity (and we'd better make it "friendly"), investigators uncovering 100 blank ballots in a Sacramento homeless encampment, and Mel Gibson's raw take on the Church's moral decay.Shift gears into Fun Friday mode as we roast the absurdities of power gone wrong. Discover how illegal aliens are infiltrating U.S. elections—from Minnesota's Democrat State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her, who admitted her status yet clinched the St. Paul mayorship, to Kansas Mayor Jose Ceballos, a non-citizen voting in federal races since 2022. Then, get inspired by a no-holds-barred Pennsylvania man dismantling his local township commission with fiery precision, setting the ultimate blueprint for citizen pushback against bureaucratic overreach. We spotlight New Hampshire's transgender Rep. Stacie Laughton's guilty plea on child exploitation charges, complete with a campaign photo alongside supporters, highlighting the hypocrisy in progressive ranks.Wrap up with our Liberal Block and Irony Overload, where the left's meltdowns take center stage: a convert to Islam whining about "true oppression," a pastor's bizarre endorsement, and a gun-control rant dripping with ignorance. Laugh at the EU President's protest hypocrisy as a demonstrator gets hauled away mid-speech on "freedom," swastika vandalism in New York tied to an unlikely suspect, and a brutal softball collision that ends a corporate game like the World Series. This episode isn't just commentary—it's a wake-up call to the chaos, corruption, and comedy in today's America. Tune in for the laughs, the outrage, and the unvarnished facts that demand action.

Buckle up, wasteland wanderers! WE ARE BACK! This week we're diving head-first into the roaring chaos of Mad Max (1979) — the movie that made Mel Gibson famous, gave us the world's angriest traffic jam, and somehow made post-apocalyptic fashion sexy. Before we dive into Mad Max however, we of course start as we always do, but discussing what we've been watching, and would you believe it, Jim has a rant! Join us as we laugh through explosive chases, questionable Australian accents, and more engine revs than your local Fast & Furious marathon. Is Mad Max a gritty masterpiece or just an excuse to film people screaming in leather? We're finding out — one flaming car at a time. Tune in for movie trivia, bad impressions, and enough nitro-fueled nonsense to make the V8 gods proud. Also discussed this week: Superman Legacy Tron: Area Black Mirror Alien Earth Fantastic Four Thunderbolts/New Avengers

Shane Black is back ! Avec PLAY DIRTY (autrefois le titre de sa version originale de L'ARME FATALE 2), il adapte - à sa manière - le personnage de Parker, créé par Donald Westlake dans les années 60, et déjà interprété sous divers noms par Lee Marvin, Robert Duvall et Mel Gibson. C'est désormais au tour de Mark Wahlberg - dit Marky Mark - de l'interpréter aux côtés de LaKeith Stanfield dans le rôle de Grofield (et non Grover, Grosmith ou Grochat si on écoute Stéphane dans cet épisode !).

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITSequels, scandals, and sideline drama meet at the crossroads of second chances. We dive into reports that Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ follow-up is moving ahead in Rome with a completely new cast, unpacking why a clean slate might be the boldest—and riskiest—choice. From the challenge of recasting Jesus to the tightrope between artistry and controversy, we explore what it would take for a sacred story to feel fresh without losing its gravity. We also tackle the listener prompt head-on: who would you choose for Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the apostles, and why?Then the mood flips from sacred to slick as George Clooney hints that Oceans 14 is real, budgeted, and awaiting schedules. We celebrate the promised return of Roberts, Pitt, Damon, and Cheadle while asking the bigger question: how do you revive a beloved heist franchise without repeating old tricks? From modern marks like crypto fraud and art laundering to the Soderbergh style that made the films swing, we chart the path to a caper that feels both nostalgic and new.Finally, we turn to Bill Belichick's turbulent UNC chapter—buyouts, alleged violations, leadership drift, and the complicated math of legacy. Does a legendary résumé guarantee culture fit in college football? We examine communication breakdowns, program stability, and whether stepping away might be the smartest play for everyone involved. Along the way, we connect the dots between Hollywood comebacks and coaching exits: the power of timing, the cost of reputation, and the art of choosing when to return—or retire.Tell us your casting picks for the Passion sequel, then follow, share, and leave a quick review so more curious listeners can find the show.
